Development of Technology for Environmental Monitoring of Gases

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Climate change and global warming are mainly produced by anthropogenic emissions of gases. Therefore, monitoring of those gases is a very important task to control their concentrations and propose effective solutions to current global problems. Currently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) represent the best alternative to monitor large, remote, and difficult access areas, as these technologies have the possibility of carrying specialised gas sensing systems. This book covers an extensive literature review on the latest technology for environmental monitoring of gases, and analyses the important role of WSNs and UAVs to effectively monitor large and remote areas. The major outcomes of this research are responses to challenges and limitations of these technologies in the field of environmental monitoring, more specifically in the field of gas sensing, energy and data management. The methodology developed is the foundation to build a family of smallsolar UAVs and WSNs adapted to carry sensors for environmental monitoring.
